Hip arthritis is a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the hip joint. It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the bones in the hip joint wears down over time, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and difficulty in performing daily activities. Hip arthritis can affect people of all ages but is more common in older adults or those with a history of hip injuries.
At KS Ortho Care, we diagnose and treat various forms of hip arthritis, including:
Osteoarthritis: The most common form, caused by wear and tear of the cartilage.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune condition causing inflammation in the hip joint.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Develops after an injury or fracture in the hip.
Avascular Necrosis: A condition where blood supply to the hip bone is reduced, causing joint damage.
Persistent hip pain or discomfort
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting
Reduced range of motion
Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
Swelling and tenderness in the hip area
Our expert orthopedic team at KS Ortho Care uses a combination of:
Physical examination to assess joint movement and pain
X-rays and MRI scans to evaluate cartilage damage and joint structure
Lab tests to identify inflammatory conditions
Treatment for hip arthritis depends on the severity and type of arthritis:

Pain management with medications
